Research Abstract

For realizing a suitable standing assistance scheme according to the characteristic of an elderly subject individually, this study proposes a novel design scheme of standing motion with a bioinformatics and a cooperated function on plural muscles. In this study, we input a measured data of an elderly subject to our proposed standing motion model and discuss a condition which enables a standing assistance which uses a remaining of a physical strength of a patient. For verifying our proposed theory, we implement our standing assistance scheme to our prototype and test it by experiments.
